Edition Detail, the leading international publisher specializing in architecture and structural design, commissioned us to design their publication Robotic
Building, edited by Gilles Retsin, Manuel Jimenez, Mollie Claypool and Vicente Soler.

The use of robots in architecture is already commonplace: robots automate processes that were previously done manually, complex shapes are created with the help of 3D printing, and autonomous swarm robots construct complex buildings. This publication explores the potential of using robotics in architecture, structural design, and structural engineering.

We chose a bright artificial bookbinding material imitating a natural comb structure as jacket, embossed with bold and contemporary typography Skrappa by Jacob J. Wise. High glossy inside paper and an assembling flexible image grid layout underline the process-based techniques.
